Big Brother’s controversial contestant Helen Wood is ‘no bully’ according to a close friend.

The 27-year-old former escort (you know, the Wayne Rooney one?) has been accused of bullying housemate Jale * with Ofcom even receiving complaints from disgruntled viewers.

And things really started to get serious when Big Brother host Emma Willis called for show bosses to revoke Helen’s golden pass to the final if things got any worse.

But Helen’s loyal pal Claire Dobson says she’s no bully, she just doesn’t think before she speaks sometimes.

Riiiiight.

Attempting to clear her friend’s name, Claire told The Sun: ‘Helen does have a tendency to say things in the heat of the moment but she isn’t a bully. She admits herself she doesn’t have a filter at times but that’s just how she is.
